I only have dosemu 1.0.2 running, as I did not succeed to compile
newer versions. As serial port issues are told to be part of
the improvements after In 1.0.2 I did not seriously try to get
online. My MS-DOS 7.10 system files for dosemu are situated on the
Linux partition. The DOS partition is mounted to the Linux file
system.

"Your  computer" presents the virtual drive letters under dosemu.
All of them are of course directories in the Linux file system.
So the diagnostic value of this test may be limited.
